We received a call from one of our 100% disabled Elderly Veterans that had purchased a house last year in an area that had a well and sulfur water. He wasn't shown by the builder how to operate the system and therefore never plugged in. By not using the water system he was breathing in the sulfur every day and it had found it's way into his AC system and caused his Air Handler to corrode and living in Florida you must have air conditioning.
The Veteran called me and I sent a technician to his house who said the part to fix his air handler was $980 but he could fix it he had to order the part. I had the part installed and because this 100% disabled Elerly Veteran is on a fixed income we paid for the repair. I then sent a technician from a Water system service to figure out what if anything was wrong with his water system. Since it had never been used the technician we called did maintenance on the unit and ordered a part that we paid to have installed and got his water system working again. Without our assistance this Veteran would not have been able to pay for the repairs to his air handler and water system. Veterans Matter, that is why any donation that you make to this fund go to help Veterans in need. We know you have a choice when donating so we thank you for your help in making the lives of the individuals that served in the military a little easier!
